TBS News reports on the matter
This ties with the report from the Nikkei yesterday here. Although Japan has lifted the state of emergency protocol for other prefectures, Tokyo is still a hotspot that the government would prefer to keep under control given the Olympics later in the year.

Update: Japan PM Suga has come out to say that a two-week state of emergency extension is needed for Tokyo.
